Gov. Lee on the Colored Vote

In long interview with Gov. Lee, Of
Virginia, published in the Cincinnati En-
Quirr Of the Esd, we find the following
questions and answers:
While on the negro question said "Gov-
ernor, tell me. has the Presidents appoint
ment Of negro to an important office IN the
District OF Columbia outraged the feelings of
the white people OF the south %
mo-" he said, mot appreclably. good
many, Of course, don't like It. Still, they look
upon the matter merely not as one OF color,
but rather OF politics. The President, doubt
less, has his eye on the colored vote in Massa.
chusetts and New York. stil in my opinion.
think If he is going to give the negro federal
offices for such purpose, he could do much
better by few appointments in the south
rather than in the north"
"Wouid not that offend the white people of
that sectionT'
'Ifit gave the whites political advantage,
do not think 1t would. Wherever we can
divide the negro vote, think 1t good politics
TO do It,"
OF course no ones feelings were out
ragged, except those Of few Office hunters,
and Gov. Lee appreciates the political idea
of the President in the Matthews and Trot-
ter nominations. 1t was, as the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN demonstrated, bold move to
secure at least part OF the colored vote in
the states where this vote to some extent
holds the balance Of power. The President
is better politician than Gov. Lee, who
thinks colored appointments made for
political effect should be taken from the
south. In that he is mistaken. President
Cleveland wanted to influence the colored
vote of the north, and selected colored men
from the north for that reason. But, as is
shown by his own words, this southern
Democratic leader approves the Presidents
action, and declares 1t was "good politics" I"

THE. interstate railway commissioners are
practically placed in charge of private
property valued at about seven thousand
million dollars. 1t is tremendous respon-
sibillty, and when 1t is considered that al.
most the entire internal commerce of the
country is bound to be affected by the ac-
tion Of the commission, the responsibility
is increased ter:5ld. No one doubts the
honesty OF the members OF the commission,
and they are men of ability, but they are
hampered by a crude, undigested rule oil

who spied theStatesman sitting on baggage

had read the Ohio Democratic platform.
II have read it over quite carefully"
was his reply.
How does it place your"
every much, indeed. / think it is an
excellent platform and unusually well ex-
pressed. The plank in regard TO revenue
reform is especially to the point, and /
heartily endorse every word of it. l en-
phatically agree with it in that there
should be no reduction of the internal
revenue, but that sll reductions should
be made in the tariff. There is no doubt
in my mind but that much of the tariff on
the necessaries of life should be taken off
or greatly reduced. The tariff on the
cheaper grades of tobacco is also too high.
While it is a luxury, it is farm product
and is used largely by the poor people.
The higher priced gredes, of course, should
be left as they are, and under no circum-
stances should the tax on liquor be re-
duced."
